March cold and dry

 March has opened in a very cold fashion in Ireland with a lot of cold frosty nights. In fact there has been more frost in March than all of the rest of the Winter.

You may have noticed too that the grass and trees have gone brown too. This is a combination of the frost as well as storms of February.

Luckily the windy stormy weather for March didn't materialise and after a little rain on St Patrick's Day most of the rest of March should be dry with temperatures of 9c to 15c. Still some frosty nights though.

30 Day Weather Forecast May 2021 for Ireland

 May will be a cold month with unsettled spells and also quite breezy at times so no sign of Summer just yet. Things may warm up as we head towards the later part of the month. Temperatures are going to be about 3c BELOW normal over the course of the month rarely going above 15c.

Rainfall will be well up to normal even slightly above. Sunshine will be in short supply after the bright weather from April it will feel like we have gone backwards in season weather wise.

June has early indications of some much warmer weather but it remains to be seen how this actually pans out.

Irelands Snow Forecast 2020

 Currently the next possibility for snow in Ireland is around the beginning of December 2020. It looks fairly light in nature but Eastern and Northern areas are currently most favoured.

Christmas Day currently looks 10c and dry.

Warm end to Summer

As the heady days of July now seem a distant memory to those of us in the Northwest it is pleasing to see that the next 2 weeks will have very mild or warm weather in Sligo. Some parts of Ireland will get 24 or 25c especially in South central parts and should the winds turn Southeast then the mid West. August ends with dry bright weather and a Southwest wind and temperatures of 20 to 23c. Then September starts with temperatures of 24c and it is like this for the first couple of days. After this there is cool and unsettled weather dangerously close to the North coast of Ireland but the South remains near 20c whereas 14c will be the temperature in Donegal.

Next 30 Days cool and mixed

A cool if not cold outlook for the next 30 days with some windy weather at times. In summary Ireland can expect a bit of everything as the Atlantic remains quite mobile but with the Jetstream a little further South than would be normally the case temperatures will remain quite low at times and on the odd occasion snow will be a risk especially on high ground and in the North.

There will also be a lot of windy and wet days too as active low pressure systems move close to or over Ireland and the North and West will again be most at risk from these.

Of the dry days there is a slight downside to this too as there will be frosty nights with the Jetstream so far South. 

Mild weather will not really be a feature of the weather but on a few occasions like the week before Christmas and perhaps the New Year it may be quite mild with temperatures into double figures.

Dry at first

Dry and warm for the first half of September with temperatures in the low 20s and high teens in the first and second weeks. Then in the 3rd week a bit of a change as Low pressure takes over once more and thereafter there will be showery days until the end of the month.

Cool and Unsettled

The weather for the next 30 days is basically cool and unsettled with showers or longer outbreaks of rain at times. Temperatures are going to be below average overall in the period by 1 to 2c and rainfall again will be above normal by 20 or 30%. All parts of Ireland will see heavy rain with perhaps the Southern half seeing most of it. Towards the end of August there is a possibility of some more warm weather with temperatures in the 20s for a few days at least.

30 Day Forecast More of the Same

Well the weather has been very unsettled to start this Summer and it looks set to remain that way right into July. Some supercell thunderstorms have formed and there has been a lot of flooding and high rainfall in all parts of Ireland with only the very North of the country escaping the worst of it. The weather will not be as bad in the coming weeks but showery days will be the order. However there will be a few pleasant days too when the temperature will climb to 20 or 21c. It is unlikely we will see temperatures of near 28c that we saw at the end of May again this Summer.

Warm to start then Thundery

warm this end to May for Ireland

Warm weather looks likely to start the period with temperatures getting up to the mid 20s in some parts of Ireland but then they will drop back to the High teens around the start of June. Thereafter it will be quite thundery but warm and there will be heavy rain especially in more Southern and Eastern parts of Ireland. The North and the West may see more in the way of sunshine for the first week of June. Temperatures for June will be higher than they have been all year and the month will certainly have an overall average temperature of above average. In the normal run of things in June we would get temperatures during the day of between 15 and 18c but this year it looks like the temperature will be around 16 to 20c a lot of the time and in any prolonged sunshine even higher. A lot of the weather in the next 30 days in Ireland is going to come from the South and East of the country so more of a continental feel to the weather even when it is wet but at the moment the first week of the period is looking very nice indeed and if you were to pinpoint the best periods of weather it would seem that May 23rd to May 27th will see a lot of warm sunny weather for Ireland and also June 7th to June 10th looks good at the moment.

Dry Start to May then Cool

The next few days are going to be dry a lot of the time with most of the rain in the East. As the month of May moves on the rain will become more widespread. All the time temperatures will be quite low for the time of year continuing the cold spring weather.

Colder and some storms

The weather is set to be cold and quite stormy for December 2011 with the possibility of some snow at times especially in more Northern areas of Ireland. Very deep areas of low pressure are skirting to the North so we are at risk of at least one big storm in the month. Temperatures are going to be around the normal 6 to 9c with some light frosts.
